TIPPING WAGON.

SPECIFICATION fOrmng part Of Letters Patent 0. 656,773, dated August 28, 1900. Application filed May 8, 1900. Serial No. 15,935- (No model.)

I Dewsbury, in the county of York, England,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tipping VVagons,of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to tipping wagons 1o such as maybe tipped for discharge at either side, the object being to provide an improved means of securing the body of the wagon in its vertical or traveling position.

Figure l is an end elevation of a side-tipping wagon with my improvements applied.

Fig. 2 is a partial side elevation of a side-tipping Wagon with my improvements applied. Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevation in section, showing in detail the arrangement of zo the central guide-lug F.

According to my said invention I employ a suitably-shaped block or cam A, preferably of iron, on each side of the standard B, which carries the tipping rocker C of the wagon- 2 5 body D. The said blocks or cams A are pivoted on pins E, carried by the standard B, and have a transverse swinging movement on their respective pins to and from the tipping rocker C-that is to say, at right angles to The said blocks or cams A are of such a shape that when in their traveling position they bear against the tipping rocker C, one at each side, making it impossible for the wagon-body D 3 5 to be accidentally tipped by ordinary rough usage. When either of the said blocks or cams A is swung over on its pin E, so as to be clear of the rocker C, as shown in dotted lines at A', the wagonbody D can be tipped 4o with ease to the position as shown at D'.

The tipping may be done at either side, according to which of the blocks or cams A is released. To further secure the wagon-body D in its traveling position, especially when working on an incline or around a curve,I provide on the under side of the tipping rocker C a small central lug or projection F. Thislug F fits in a corresponding central recessin the top of the standard B, and has also an overhanging lip Gr, which bears against the face of the said standard B. By this means any excessive side play in rounding curves and forward or backward play in working on an incline are eectually prevented.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. In a side -tipping wagon, the transversely-swin ging blocks or cams A carried by the standard B so as to secure and release at will the tipping rocker C, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a tipping wagon, the combination, with a supporting-standard having an upwardly-projecting eye at one end thereof, of a Wagon-body provided with a curved rocker which rolls on the said standard, and a block pivoted to the said eye and bearing against the face of the end portion of the said rocker and normally preventing it from rolling, substantialy as set forth.

3. In a tipping wagon, the combination, with a supporting-standard provided with a central recess, of a wagon-body provided with a curved rocker which rolls on the said standard, a lug provided with a projecting lip and secured to the middle part of the said rocker and engaging with the said recess, and a block pivoted to the saidstandard and normally preventing the said rocker from rolling on it, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name' to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
